I have the "Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent" problem with PHP4.3.1, i don't include/require any files before calling session_start(). I get this error even with a test PHP file with one line having only "session_start()". And i don't use auto_prepend.

I found out that this is because the PHP file i upload to my Redhat 8 box is saved with UTF-8 encoding (using notepad), i tried to save it with different encodings (using Windows Notepad also). Only when I save the file with ANSI encoding it will work. Looks like when saving with UTF-8 headers will be sent by apache, or maybe a bug in PHP??

Just in case. this is different than "Content-Type" header. Go to Notepad open any txt file, and click file/save as.., see the encoding option.
